If Your Cat Hates the Cat Carrier

If, like most cats, your cat hates his carrier then try these simple tips.  Getting your cat into a cat carrier is rarely an easy feat. You either end up with scratched hands as he wises up to what's coming and claws his way away from you or stubbornly he sits at the carrier door refusing to budge. Your first attempt fails and kitty is now ten steps ahead of you hiding in the darkest most difficult to get to corner of your house and he's not coming out no matter how you try and coax him. After a while he thinks you've given up and he gingerly ventures out and the routine starts again.

So how can you get a cat into a cat carrier easily? Firstly turn the cat carrier on it's side, then get hold of your cat firmly either with your hands under his front paw armpits or even by the skin of his neck, I prefer the former. Then act quickly to "drop" him tail or back legs first into the carrier and close the door. You can also wrap his back legs in a towel if you are quick enough and get him in that way if his back legs are flailing around.  This whole job takes a minute or so and everyone including your cat are a lot less stressed.
